| Description of the problem | While driving, red "brake" dash warning light suddenly came on. Truck's brakes then had limited braking ability & were hard to use. They pushed a ways down, had crummy stopping power, made grinding noises, and a vibration when trying to use them. I was able to finally stop. I shut off truck and restarted it. The light went off and brakes act normally. After braking again a short time later, the light came on again and had the same problems. I once again was able to reset the light by shutting off the truck. This is very dangerous, as it just suddenly happens and your braking ability goes to "poop" when driving. After this happened to me, i see there are many complaints on-line in various forums about this issue which has not been addressed by nissan or a government recall. The dealer claimed they fixed the brake problem by replacing the brake pads and rotors. However, a week later, the consumers nephew was driving when the brakes failed again, and he drove into a ditch. The consumer returned to the dealer, where they claimed the brakes were not working properly and the vehicle needed a new pump/delta stoke sensor. Updated 02/23/15 |
